If he's not going to read he's either a mafian trying to slow down the debate or an unhelpful townie.

That and I want to throw some rocks and see what hornets emerge.

I actually haven't been able to coalesce as many theories as usual thus far, probably because it takes me sans twenty minutes to load this page right now. I do have some thoughts to share however. First, Hudsonboy has already played the "I'm innocent" card twice, first just saying he isn't mafia and then It isn't evidence, I've never seen him play townie and as such can't gauge his behavior properly. Worth watching, however. Weldar seemed to be arguing against himself in the beginning there, which to me indicates either a healthy "anyone can be guilty" viewpoint or a sneaky Jester strategy.

Omicron on the other hand perplexes me here. He's made the same argument in games 7 and 8, but with one key difference. Prior to this game, I found his opinion quite agreeable, as he didn't advocate a random lynch, rather a lynch with information: he always wanted to wait before placing his vote, he was always quite patient. In Game 7 he advocated lynching on Day 1, not RANDOM lynching, and waited to place his vote, finally voting SnakeInABox (read: nobody). In Game 8, aside from being a little suspicious at Minby for being so blatantly happy (if you remember, he was vanilla and acting the happy guy role for fun), he again decided to abstain from voting for lack of leads. As an example, from Game 8:

Because the lynch is effectively random, there's the highest possible chance of getting a mafian rather than a townie than any other kill. Waiting will give the mafia a 100% townie or cult kill that night, and this slightly, slightly increases their odds of victory. However, it would still pretty much be a random kill.

To be honest, I agree with Weldar because of the subtle statistics, but there isn't anyone in particular I should vote for that looks suspicious, and with a 20 to 1 bandwagon going on, accusing anyone of anything would just bring unnecessary attention to myself.

Also, day 2 can be VERY much more informative than day 1. Last game, Smashbro survived a supposed kill attempt, and much of the remaining days revolved around that and whether Smashbro was guilty or not.

This game, however, he isn't waiting. Rather he advocating lynching at random and followed through, voting for Avalanche in his first post. Suspicious? Yes. Damning? No. There's always the chance he's just trying a new strategy to probe for information, but this is quite a pattern breaker on his part. FoS: Omicron

I totally agree with everything you're saying, Q, and those are all great points. My attitude towards my first mafia game and others has changed slightly, in fact. Right now, I am playing a little recklessly, just because...I don't really care if I die as much. I do want to play and enjoy the game, but being kicked out isn't as much of a problem for me as it was in earlier games when I would otherwise be extremely bored without it.

A few things I should note, though:

1) I did advocate lynching on day one of game 7, and had we no leads, I would have voted randomly for the same reason I did now. This game, however, I have less time to glue onto Mafia (school and whatnot) and even less leads to go on.2) ...actually, that's mostly it. You say this is a "pattern breaker" on my part, which I suppose is a good point, but having only played two other games (and dying almost immediately in the second), I haven't had much time to really figure out how I want to go about playing yet.

Even though I didn't really do much, cause I didn't/couldn't know much without making that role supremely overpowered.
